The majority of myasthenia gravis patients have detectable antibodies in their serum, targeting acetylcholine receptor, muscle-specific kinase, or related proteins. Current treatment for myasthenia gravis involves symptomatic therapy, immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil, and thymectomy, which is primarily indicated in patients with thymoma or thymic hyperplasia. However, this condition continues to pose significant challenges including an unpredictable and variable disease progression, differing response to individual therapies, and substantial longterm side effects associated with standard treatments(including an increased risk of infections, osteoporosis, and diabetes), underscoring the necessity for a more personalized approach to treatment. Furthermore, about fifteen percent of patients, called “refractory myasthenia gravis patients”, do not respond adequately to standard therapies. In this context, the introduction of molecular therapies has marked a significant advance in myasthenia gravis management. Advances in understanding myasthenia gravis pathogenesis, especially the role of pathogenic antibodies, have driven the development of these biological drugs, which offer more selective, rapid, and safer alternatives to traditional immunosuppressants. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging therapeutic strategies targeting specific immune pathways in myasthenia gravis, with a particular focus on preclinical evidence, therapeutic rationale, and clinical translation of B-cell depletion therapies, neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors, and complement inhibitors.展开更多

文摘Human herpesvirus,a specific group within the herpesvirus family,is responsible for a variety of human diseases.These viruses can infect humans and other vertebrates,primarily targeting the skin,mucous membranes,and neural tissues,thereby signifi-cantly impacting the health of both humans and animals.Animal models are crucial for studying virus pathogenesis,vaccine development,and drug testing.Despite several vaccine candidates being in preclinical and clinical stages,no vaccines are current available to prevent lifelong infections caused by these human herpesviruses,except for varicella-zoster virus(VZV)vaccine.However,the strict host tropism of herpes-viruses and other limitations mean that no single animal model can fully replicate all key features of human herpesvirus-associated diseases.This makes it challeng-ing to evaluate vaccines and antivirals against human herpesvirus comprehensively.Herein,we summarize the current animal models used to study the human herpesvi-ruses includingα-herpesviruses(herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1),HSV-2,VZV),β-herpesviruses(human cytomegalovirus(HCMV),γ-herpesviruses(Epstein-Barr virus(EBV))and Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus(KSHV)).By providing concise information and detailed analysis of the potential,limitations and applications of various models,such as non-human primates,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,and tree shrews,this sum-mary aims to help researchers efficiently select the most appropriate animal model,offering practical guidance for studying human herpesvirus.

文摘Background:Due to the widespread use of cell phone devices today,numerous re-search studies have focused on the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on human neuropsychological and reproductive systems.In most studies,oxidative stress has been identified as the primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves.This paper aims to provide a holistic review of the protective effects of melatonin against cell phone-induced electromag-netic waves on various organs.Methods:This study is a systematic review of articles chosen by searching Google Scholar,PubMed,Embase,Scopus,Web of Science,and Science Direct using the key-words‘melatonin’,‘cell phone radiation’,and‘animal model’.The search focused on articles written in English,which were reviewed and evaluated.The PRISMA process was used to review the articles chosen for the study,and the JBI checklist was used to check the quality of the reviewed articles.Results:In the final review of 11 valid quality-checked articles,the effects of me-latonin in the intervention group,the effects of electromagnetic waves in the case group,and the amount of melatonin in the chosen organ,i.e.brain,skin,eyes,testis and the kidney were thoroughly examined.The review showed that electromagnetic waves increase cellular anti-oxidative activity in different tissues such as the brain,the skin,the eyes,the testis,and the kidneys.Melatonin can considerably augment the anti-oxidative system of cells and protect tissues;these measurements were sig-nificantly increased in control groups.Electromagnetic waves can induce tissue atro-phy and cell death in various organs including the brain and the skin and this effect was highly decreased by melatonin.Conclusion:Our review confirms that melatonin effectively protects the organs of an-imal models against electromagnetic waves.In light of this conclusion and the current world-wide use of melatonin,future studies should advance to the stages of human clinical trials.We also recommend that more research in the field of melatonin physi-ology is conducted in order to protect exposed cells from dying and that melatonin should be considered as a pharmaceutical option for treating the complications result-ing from electromagnetic waves in humans.
文摘In their recent paper Pereira et al.(2025)claim that validation is overlooked in mapping and modelling of ecosystem services(ES).They state that“many studies lack critical evaluation of the results and no validation is provided”and that“the validation step is largely overlooked”.This assertion may have been true several years ago,for example,when Ochoa and Urbina-Cardona(2017)made a similar observation.However,there has been much work on ES model validation over the last decade.

文摘Cardiac arrest(CA)is a critical condition in the field of cardiovascular medicine.Despite successful resuscitation,patients continue to have a high mortality rate,largely due to post CA syndrome(PCAS).However,the injury and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PCAS remain unclear.Experimental animal models are valuable tools for exploring the etiology,pathogenesis,and potential interventions for CA and PCAS.Current CA animal models include electrical induction of ventricular fibrillation(VF),myocardial infarction,high potassium,asphyxia,and hemorrhagic shock.Although these models do not fully replicate the complexity of clinical CA,the mechanistic insights they provide remain highly relevant,including post-CA brain injury(PCABI),post-CA myocardial dysfunction(PAMD),systemic ischaemia/reperfusion injury(IRI),and the persistent precipitating pathology.Summarizing the methods of establishing CA models,the challenges encountered in the modeling process,and the mechanisms of PCAS can provide a foundation for developing standardized CA modeling protocols.

文摘Recommendation systems are key to boosting user engagement,satisfaction,and retention,particularly on media platforms where personalized content is vital.Sequential recommendation systems learn from user-item interactions to predict future items of interest.However,many current methods rely on unique user and item IDs,limiting their ability to represent users and items effectively,especially in zero-shot learning scenarios where training data is scarce.With the rapid development of Large Language Models(LLMs),researchers are exploring their potential to enhance recommendation systems.However,there is a semantic gap between the linguistic semantics of LLMs and the collaborative semantics of recommendation systems,where items are typically indexed by IDs.Moreover,most research focuses on item representations,neglecting personalized user modeling.To address these issues,we propose a sequential recommendation framework using LLMs,called CIT-Rec,a model that integrates Collaborative semantics for user representation and Image and Text information for item representation to enhance Recommendations.Specifically,by aligning intuitive image information with text containing semantic features,we can more accurately represent items,improving item representation quality.We focus not only on item representations but also on user representations.To more precisely capture users’personalized preferences,we use traditional sequential recommendation models to train on users’historical interaction data,effectively capturing behavioral patterns.Finally,by combining LLMs and traditional sequential recommendation models,we allow the LLM to understand linguistic semantics while capturing collaborative semantics.Extensive evaluations on real-world datasets show that our model outperforms baseline methods,effectively combining user interaction history with item visual and textual modalities to provide personalized recommendations.

文摘The collection and annotation of lar ge-scale bird datasets are resource-intensive and time-consuming processes that significantly limit the scalability and accuracy of biodiversity monitoring systems.While self-supervised learning(SSL)has emerged as a promising approach for leveraging unannotated data,current SSL methods face two critical challenges in bird species recognition:(1)long-tailed data distributions that result in poor performance on underrepresented species;and(2)domain shift issues caused by data augmentation strategies designed to mitigate class imbalance.Here we present SDNet,a novel SSL-based bird recognition framework that integrates diffusion models with large language models(LLMs)to overcome these limitations.SDNet employs LLMs to generate semantically rich textual descriptions for tail-class species by prompting the models with species taxonomy,morphological attributes,and habitat information,producing detailed natural language priors that capture fine-grained visual characteristics(e.g.,plumage patterns,body proportions,and distinctive markings).These textual descriptions are subsequently used by a conditional diffusion model to synthesize new bird image samples through cross-attention mechanisms that fuse textual embeddings with intermediate visual feature representations during the denoising process,ensuring generated images preserve species-specific morphological details while maintaining photorealistic quality.Additionally,we incorporate a Swin Transformer as the feature extraction backbone whose hierarchical window-based attention mechanism and shifted windowing scheme enable multi-scale local feature extraction that proves particularly effective at capturing finegrained discriminative patterns(such as beak shape and feather texture)while mitigating domain shift between synthetic and original images through consistent feature representations across both data sources.SDNet is validated on both a self-constructed dataset(Bird_BXS)an d a publicly available benchmark(Birds_25),demonstrating substantial improvements over conventional SSL approaches.Our results indicate that the synergistic integration of LLMs,diffusion models,and the Swin Transformer architecture contributes significantly to recognition accuracy,particularly for rare and morphologically similar species.These findings highlight the potential of SDNet for addressing fundamental limitations of existing SSL methods in avian recognition tasks and establishing a new paradigm for efficient self-supervised learning in large-scale ornithological vision applications.
文摘Federated Learning(FL)enables joint training over distributed devices without data exchange but is highly vulnerable to attacks by adversaries in the form of model poisoning and malicious update injection.This work proposes Secured-FL,a blockchain-based defensive framework that combines smart contract-based authentication,clustering-driven outlier elimination,and dynamic threshold adjustment to defend against adversarial attacks.The framework was implemented on a private Ethereum network with a Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithm to ensure tamper-resistant and auditable model updates.Large-scale simulation on the Cyber Data dataset,under up to 50%malicious client settings,demonstrates Secured-FL achieves 6%-12%higher accuracy,9%-15%lower latency,and approximately 14%less computational expense compared to the PPSS benchmark framework.Additional tests,including confusion matrices,ROC and Precision-Recall curves,and ablation tests,confirm the interpretability and robustness of the defense.Tests for scalability also show consistent performance up to 500 clients,affirming appropriateness to reasonably large deployments.These results make Secured-FL a feasible,adversarially resilient FL paradigm with promising potential for application in smart cities,medicine,and other mission-critical IoT deployments.

文摘This study traces the development of the Shanghai Typhoon Model(SHTM)from a traditional physics-based regional model toward a data-driven,machine-learning typhoon forecasting system.After upgrading its initial and boundary conditions,SHTM now leverages large-scale constraints from machine-learning weather prediction(MLWP)models,resulting in an ML–physics hybrid framework.During Typhoon Danas(2025),the hybrid SHTM achieves substantially lower track errors than both the advanced ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System(IFS)and leading MLWP models such as PanGu and FuXi.Furthermore,the hybrid SHTM consistently maintains mean track errors below 200 km up to a forecast lead time of 108 hours,representing a significant advancement in forecast accuracy.In addition,this study highlights the technical roadmap for transitioning from a physics-based typhoon model to a fully data-driven ML typhoon forecast system.It also emphasizes that advances in the physical modeling framework provide a critical foundation for further improving the performance of future data-driven ML typhoon models.

文摘The rapid advancement of machine learning based tight-binding Hamiltonian(MLTB)methods has opened new avenues for efficient and accurate electronic structure simulations,particularly in large-scale systems and long-time scenarios.This review begins with a concise overview of traditional tight-binding(TB)models,including both(semi-)empirical and first-principles approaches,establishing the foundation for understanding MLTB developments.We then present a systematic classification of existing MLTB methodologies,grouped into two major categories:direct prediction of TB Hamiltonian elements and inference of empirical parameters.A comparative analysis with other ML-based electronic structure models is also provided,highlighting the advancement of MLTB approaches.Finally,we explore the emerging MLTB application ecosystem,highlighting how the integration of MLTB models with a diverse suite of post-processing tools from linear-scaling solvers to quantum transport frameworks and molecular dynamics interfaces is essential for tackling complex scientific problems across different domains.The continued advancement of this integrated paradigm promises to accelerate materials discovery and open new frontiers in the predictive simulation of complex quantum phenomena.

文摘Business Process Modelling(BPM)is essential for analyzing,improving,and automating the flow of information within organizations,but traditional approaches based on manual interpretation are slow,error-prone,and require a high level of expertise.This article proposes an innovative alternative solution that overcomes these limitations by automatically generating comprehensive Business Process Modelling and Notation(BPMN)diagrams solely from verbal descriptions of the processes to be modeled,utilizing Large Language Models(LLMs)and multimodal Artificial Intelligence(AI).Experimental results,based on video recordings of process explanations provided by an expert from an organization(in this case,the Commercial Courts of a public justice administration),demonstrate that the proposed methodology successfully enables the automatic generation of complete and accurate BPMN diagrams,leading to significant improvements in the speed,accuracy,and accessibility of process modeling.This research makes a substantial contribution to the field of business process modeling,as its methodology is groundbreaking in its use of LLMs and multimodal AI capabilities to handle different types of source material(text and video),combining several tools to minimize the number of queries and reduce the complexity of the prompts required for the automatic generation of successful BPMN diagrams.

文摘This study demonstrates a novel integration of large language models,machine learning,and multicriteria decision-making to investigate self-moderation in small online communities,a topic under-explored compared to user behavior and platform-driven moderation on social media.The proposed methodological framework(1)utilizes large language models for social media post analysis and categorization,(2)employs k-means clustering for content characterization,and(3)incorporates the TODIM(Tomada de Decisão Interativa Multicritério)method to determine moderation strategies based on expert judgments.In general,the fully integrated framework leverages the strengths of these intelligent systems in a more systematic evaluation of large-scale decision problems.When applied in social media moderation,this approach promotes nuanced and context-sensitive self-moderation by taking into account factors such as cultural background and geographic location.The application of this framework is demonstrated within Facebook groups.Eight distinct content clusters encompassing safety,harassment,diversity,and misinformation are identified.Analysis revealed a preference for content removal across all clusters,suggesting a cautious approach towards potentially harmful content.However,the framework also highlights the use of other moderation actions,like account suspension,depending on the content category.These findings contribute to the growing body of research on self-moderation and offer valuable insights for creating safer and more inclusive online spaces within smaller communities.
